1985 Toyota 1G-GTEU

Collection items

(1985 / Automobile & Engine)

This was the first DOHC twin-turbo engine in Japan. It was created by adding two turbochargers to the 1G-GEU 2,000cc straight-six engine that Yamaha Motor developed based on the Toyota 1G power unit. Later, spec changes such as replacing the liquid-type intercooler with an air-type helped boost maximum power output from 185 PS to 210 PS. It was mounted in the Toyota Mark II series, Soarer and Celica XX.
